Sheffield United's Oli McBurnie scored the latest ever goal in the Premier League, dispatching a 103rd-minute penalty to rescue a point for Sheffield United against West Ham.
Sheffield United were awarded the spot-kick in the 98th minute when Hammers keeper Alphonse Areola took out McBurnie.
And having been made to wait to take it, the forward smashed his effort beyond substitute stopper Lukasz Fabianski with Areola forced to leave the pitch after receiving treatment.
West Ham had been cruising towards a 2-1 victory after James Ward-Prowse's successful penalty in the 79th minute.
Maxwel Cornet had given the Hammers a first-half lead with his first goal for the club before Ben Brereton Diaz equalised on the stroke of half-time on his Premier League debut.
In second-half injury time, the match intensified with two red cards and two penalty shouts.
Sheffield United substitute Rhian Brewster was sent off after video assistant referee intervention (VAR) for a high, late tackle on Emerson.
And Vladimir Coufal was given a yellow card for demanding Brewster's sending off, before receiving a second booking minutes later for a cynical trip.
The drama continued even after the Blades' late equaliser, with the Hammers wanting a late penalty of their own after Jarrod Bowen went down in the area.
